WE WONDER WHY TT rs.

There seems to be strange notion
among some Universalists, that the
forgiveness of sin involves a personal
act on the part of God, to which he is
specially moved by the penitent prayer
of the sinner, through a medium of
atonement. This relic of the old pagan
religion, fostered by Roman Christian
ity, and also till now kept alive by Prot
estant Orthodoxy" still fiuds an occa-
sional friend among Universalists, who
seem unable to grasp the idea of the
divine forgiveness in consistency with
the divine immutability. And so God
is thought of and talked of and written
of as if he were personally affected with
pain and anger at our sins, and with
pity and love at our penitence, when
we become ashamed of our misdoings,
and are sorry at having offended the
infinite and holy One
By such minds God seems to be rep
resented in thought and in the sub
stance of their words, as being angry
and pleased, by turns; as having great
indignation against the creatures of his
own making, for SHINING, just as he
knew they would sin when he made
them and then as putting away his
wrath and changing TO love again,
when they are sorry for their sin, so as
to remit the penalty of their crime and
take them again into his favor. Thus
the infnity of God is practically denied,
and the immutability of the divine
mind ignored; and we have for our
worship, instead of the infinite soul,
fallible and capricious being, substan-
TALLY like one Of the old pagan divini-
ties, whose favor was courted and whose
forgiveness was entreated through sacri-
fetal offerings.
There is no logical halt in such pc
culiar anthropomorphic condition of

THE UNIvEEsAI1sT: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 70, 1887

DR.. Shedd is confession that the argu-
ments by which eternal punishment
was formerly defended, will no longer
answer even the purpose of Presbyte-
rians-that even advocates of the West
minister Confession Of Faith call for
new statements and arguments for the
doctrine; that to this end they are will
ing to throw overheard DIR. Shedd and
the former teaching of the Calvinistic
theologians. The extract from the Interi-
or is certainly significant straw, show
ing the way the wind blows, even in the
Presbyterian church. 1t is significant
of the coming cyclone which will assur-
eddy sweep the doctrine of eternal pun
ishment away from all its entrench-
ments and clear the air for a new and
better Interpretation of the eschatology
of the New Testament.

New Haven, Conn.
Rev. FL. d. L. Webster leaves on Thurs.
day of this week for Tarpon Springs,
Fla, to continue his missionary work at
that point.

day.

One of the most happy little surprises
was given to Rev. and Mrs Elmer Jacobs,
of Lspeer. Mich, on recent evening.
About one hundred of the good people
of the parish launched themselves upon
them unannounced, and after warming
the hearts of the gentleman and his wife
by their cordially, produced a nice set of
dishes for Mrs. Jacobs and a purse of
some $50 for their pastor. This was sup
plemented by some SIS from Mr. Jacobs
Sunday-school class. These things make
life pleasant to the faithful minister.
We record with regret the departure of
one of our oldest subscribers = Mrs.
Abiah Parke, who died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Amanda Pumpelly, in
Mt. Pulaski, ILL.,, Wednesday evening,
Oct 10, at the ripe age Of eighty-seven
years, six months and sixteen days. Mrs.
Parke was the grandmother Of the pres
emit Mrs. Governor Oglesby. Her funer-
al services we're held on the 2lst, Rev.
d. P. Bum officiating, and the remains
were laid tenderly to their rest in Mt.
Pulaski cemetery. Mrs. Parke made her

SHEDDING DR.. sHEDD,

THE UNTvERsALIsT has been
strangely remiss in duty to its readers
in the failure to notice until now, the
very remarkable reputation of DR..
William G.. Shedd's teaching in regard
to eternal punishment, which appeared
in our Presbyterian contemporary, the
Interior, of Sept. %.
twill be remembered that Dr. Shedd,
who is a professor of theology in the
Union Theological Seminary (Presbyte-
rian,) of New York, wrote an article
for the North American RevielC in which
he attempted TO defend the doctrine of
endless punishment by the mysterious
processes of that perverse and unsanct-
lied form OF logic which is character
istie of the equally unsanctified and
perverse system of thought known as
Calyinism. The article
attracted wide attention as most un-
timely attempt to revive the Calyinistie
teaching ON this subject. 1t was an ar
ticle of the medieval cast, a voice from
the dark ages, and was generally re-
garded as an offense against the intelli-
genee of Christendom-a sorry plea for
the revival of belief in q doctrine rap
idly passing into oblivion, and certainly
not defended in this age, in scholarly
circles, on the basis of the arguments

THIS week will undoubtedly prove
one of the most exciting in the history
of Chicago since the week of the great
fire. The execution of the seven an
archists now in prison, is set for Friday
next, 18th inst. The Supreme Court of
the United States rendered its decision
on Wednesday, Nov. 2, refusing to re-
open the case. This was the last legal
resort, and now the only hope for the
condemned men is the chance that Gov
ernor Oglesby will commute the SEN
tence, or at least grant reprieve. A
great pressure is being organized on the
Executive to secure his interference,
and many thousand names have been
signed to petitions asking for clemency
on grounds of public policy. The Gov
ernor observes discreet silence, and
what his action will he none can foretell.
The impression is rapidly gaining
ground that he will not interfere, and
that the anarchists will suffer the dread
punishment of the gallows on the day
appointed. Still reprieve, or COM
mutation of sentence in the case of
Fielden, and one or two others, or the
Imprisonment for life of the convicted
seven, would not be surprise, and
may come even before these lines are
read in print.

WE notice with regret that the Ad-
Uance is not true to its pledge, touching
a God-speed for Universalists, when
they begin Foreign Missionary work.
In response to our question whether
Universalists should have its prayers
and blessing when they embarked in
that form of Christian enterprise, our
contemporary responded, "Yea, verilyl"
1t looks now as if the Advance did not
propose to carry out a program that
promised to realize the sweet reasona-
bleness of commencing Universalists
for good works. 1t evidently believes
in provoking" Universalists, but not
"unto good works" Well, we can
stand it, even if the Advance withholds
its coveted blessing.

THERE is a widespread apprehen-
sion of trouble in the city, if the an
archists are hung, but we are of opin-
ion that these apprehensions are based
on an exaggerated estimate of possible
danger. The Mayor and our magnif-
cent police force are vigilant, and every
precaution is taken to prevent out
breaks. The police can be reinforced
in an hours tine by two regiments of
militia, and a battalion of United States
troops are also ready if an emergency
arises which warrants the call of the
Governor. If the execution takes place,
Chicago will meet the issue with an
archy then and there. The discovery
of the bombs in Lingg's cell on Sunday,
has convinced many who inclined pre-
viously to the side of mercy that these
men are not fit subjects for clemency,
and that the stern verdict of the law,
upheld in the Supreme Court of the
State, and that of the United States
should take its course.

THE PALMER HOUSE CONFERENCE


The daily press of last week, noticed
with more or less fulness, conference
of liberal clergymen held at the Pal
mer House on Tuesday and Wednesday,
to discuss the religious situation, and
confer upon methods of cooperative
work which should unite the progress
i've thinkers in all churches. Among
those present were DR.. HI. W. Thomas,
Prof. David Swing, the Rev. Messrs.
Sunderland, Alcott, Balch, Slade, Conk-
lin, Adams, Lauer, Townsend, Utter,
Bachelor, Jones and others.
There was free interchange of views
and opinions. Considerable difference
Of opinion was developed, and various
plans proposed, some even looking so
far as to the formation of new sect to
be called the american Church," or
the "Neo Christian Church :" others
regarding this as impracticable, but
suggesting an alliance of liberal minis
tiers for practical missionary work. An
organization was effected and officers
elected, as follows: Prof. Swing, pres
ident; Rev. J. l.. Jones, vice-president;
Rev. George Bachelor, secretary H.
w. Thomas, D. D., chairman of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, consisting of four
others, DR.. Townsend and Rev. Messrs.
Utter, Conklin, and Alcott.
No definite policy was adopted, how
ever, and it is yet in doubt whether an
organization answering to new de-
nomination will be formed, or only an
alliance between congenial spirits in
the existing churches.
The Tribune credits DIR. Townsend of
Jamestown, N. Y, with originating the
idea of the conference, and looking for
ward to the formation of some kind of
an organization for general church
work, independent of UNCONVENTIONAL
relations. 1t says:
''It was the intention to make the
conference secret in every respect, and
as consequence those present were
decidedly averse to being interviewed !;
in fact, special efforts were made to
keep the reporters in ignorance of the
proceedings.
cit has been Mn Townsend's idea for
some time that the independent liberal
churches could perhaps accomplish more
for the spread of the gospel among the
people by united effort than under ex-
listing circumstances, and desiring to
meet and hear an expression of senti-
ment from the Chicago opponents of
advanced thought in religious matters
arranged for the conference in question.
The whole subject was discussed for
several hours, but no final conclusion
was reached, and practically the matter
is in precisely the shape it was before
Mr.. Townsend's visit. The drift of
sentiment among the Chicago clergy
men was in opposition to the scheme,
as the majority of them held to the idea
that more good work could be accom-
plished by each one occupying separ
rate and independent field and direct
ing his efforts as he thought best. The
objection to organization was on the
ground that each one would then have
to conform to certain set rules in fact,
that organization meant the establish
ment of a doctrine or theology to which
it would be difficult for every one to
o,hooriha -

Rev. BROOKE HEREFORD, in recent
sermon, reported in the Boston Herald,
makes use of the following beautiful
language, in the expression of a thought
familiar to the readers Of all our church
literature, but never so old or so famil-
lar as not to thrill the heart with new
hope, and joy, and peace, in believing
perhaps the deeper truth which most
wants pressing home is the retribution
that is in life, right as it goes along
that he that is in sin is in the punish
ment of sin, and that the judgment in
the life beyond is simply, as Paul calls
it, "The revelation of judgment" the
awful revealing in that world of light
of what the sinful life has simply come
to be. l do not want that softened
down. 1 believe it is all true. But
that is not all. Over even the most
lost and wasted life of earth arches still
the eternal goodness, and the eternal
plan and the eternal power.

Newcastle, four miles from the county
seat, is to-day the largest fruit shipping
point in Central and northern California
outside of Sacramento. Here are to be
found several large fruit-shipping firms and
establishments, which during the past year
shipped over 100000 pounds of green
fruit, an amount which seems almost in
credible, owing to the fact that nearly
all the orchards and vineyards are
quite young. This yield will double
in the next two years, and in five
years the product of this section will
be phenomenal. What has been said re-
garding the capabilities of the soil in the
vicinity of Newcastle may be said of
Leomis, Penryn, Rocklin-in fact every
point from the western portion of the
county to Colfax.
AUBURN, THE COUNTY SEAT
Of Placer, is an interesting, prosperous
and thriving town of over 1000 souls. 1t
supports three excellent weekly newspa-
pers-the Herald, argus and Republican.
All are ably edited, and have done much
toward making known the advantages of
their section, and bringing in thrifty iu-
migration that has added largely to the
material wealth of the county, and made
it what il really is entitled by its natural
resources to be, one Of the very first horti-
cultural counties in the State.
AS HEALTH RESORT.
The delightful climate of Auburn has
secured for it good reputation as health
resort for those troubled with bronchial or
pulmonary diseases. The town has several
fine hotels, which receive a large share of
their patronage from healthseekers, and
the confidence in this particular place
of the physicians who send their
patients here has in most instances
been justified by the benefits received.
From many experiments made it is fully
demonstrated that this locality is well
adapted TO olive culture, and some orchards
are already in successful bearing.
